So here I am at Terminus still. I dont' have all my notes from today because in the Snape panel I took them b hand, but here's most of what I saw and did today.

gatewaygirl, one of my roomies, explained what her "Spice" icon is/means! (It's apparently a photograph of actual spices she was using in baking and she put the lettering for "Spice" on it, and it became her default icon. Many people think her name or journal name is "spice" because of it...

Missed the 9am session because our breakfast was supposed to be delivered at 8am and at 8:40 they called to say, oops, we lost the order you placed last night, sorry... (They are giving us free breakfast coupons to make up for it!) Anyway, we didn't get woken up on time. And as it turned out the 9am talk we wanted to see we wouldn't have made it into anyway. (It was on fandom and censorship.) It was in a room with only 24 chairs, and they got filled early. So it was just as well we took a little more time and then went down for Mijan's 10am roundtable on ( Using Fanfiction as Sexual Exploration. )

( How Borders Marketed Book 7 )


( Severus Snape: Gender and Heroism )

( Fluidity of Sexual Identity in HP )

Then we went off to the Slashers Meetup, and met lots of folks, many of whom we had met at the H/D meetup, but some new. Got to talk to kabal42 a bit more. Met supes. Got more swag, and my badge lanyard is now pretty much at the capacity it can be for buttons. We went right from there to the Snarry Meetup, which was a dinner at a pizza place that closed down for the night for our private party. Much fun. Sat with stupid_drawings, twilightsorcery, coconut_ice, dacro, my three roomies, and Kat. jin_fenghuang sat with us for a bit, too.

Then there was drabbling (which I missed), and we went to a party that will be showing up in sly references in my fic for months to come. You know who you are.

Getting up in 5 hours, ugh, but much con awaits us tomorrow!

Terminus Day Four

All four roomies got up and had breakfast today! We are SOOOO tired and sleepy. But not regretting anything at all. (Grin madly here.)

Busy busy day...

( CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES IN THE WIZARDING WORLD )( DRACO MALFOY: BEGINNING TO END )( DACRO'S Fine Art of Wizard Conversation )( Snaco meetup )( Art & Drabbles )( Drabble: Tonks's Last Words )( Meaning of Slytherin )
Then I took a spin through the dealer's room again, didn't buy anything but looked at some cool T-shirts, and now I'm back in my room trying to make dinner plans. So I'm posting. Tonight is Author & Artists Night so there will be much fanfiction reading, drabbling, and so on...

Just so folks know, I've still got some copies of the "Erotic Harry Potter" zine left to sell. It features the readers from the Quimby's Erotic Harry Potter night, plus a little art by Venturous and oldenuf2b. So that's Alchemia Dent and Bugland, Gateway Girl, Kabal, Mijan, Bronze Ribbons/Mechaieh, and myself! Slashy, smutty goodness, with some H/D, some Snarry, some H/D/S, a Snape/Lupin, and a Hermione/Everyone. :-)

It's $7, plus like $2.50 shipping if you want it mailed to you?

For those of you at Terminus, I'll be carrying some copies in my bag except maybe at the Ball, where my schoolbag really doesn't match my dress...

I'm also selling "Five Zines for Five Bucks," a collection of five minibooks I made from my own fics and drabbles, two H/D, two Snarry, and one Snaco. The Snaco is never-before-published!
